Bitcoin started the third week of October holding weekly support near $82,500, Cointelegraph reported on Oct. 12, 2026. The price ticker on the article page showed BTC at $82,992.20.
US inflation data comes out this week, and traders are watching it closely. The Federal Open Market Committee meets on Oct. 28 to decide interest-rate policy, and this week's figures are among the last inputs before that meeting. Cointelegraph says traders are preparing for price swings around the release.
Several things are not known yet. The inflation numbers have not been published, and nobody knows how Bitcoin's price will react to them. The headline promises three things traders need to know, but the excerpt available to Perp Desk covers only the $82,500 support level and the inflation data.
For someone already holding a perpetual position on Bitget, Bybit, MEXC or OKX, this report changes nothing directly. It contains no funding-rate figures, no fee changes and no liquidity data for any exchange. It does name a date when traders expect volatility. A bigger price move changes how close a position is to its liquidation price, but not what the position costs to hold.
